Steroids were found at room of coach’s son

Garrett Reid, a son of the coach Andy Reid, died at his dormitory room. Although Omar Elkhamra, the team physician of the Philadelphia Eagles, tried to revive him, the efforts of the doctor turned out to be in vain. The county coroner affirmed that this young man (29 years old) died of a heroin overdose.
Garrett Reid’s death was a serious tragedy for the family of Andy Reid. Furthermore, the case caused certain problems for the Philadelphia Eagles. The football players had to clear themselves from suspicions connected with steroid use. Certain anabolic steroids were found by local police officers in the dormitory of Garret Reid. Furthermore, syringes and needles were found in his possession too. The steroids were identified by police. It was reported that Garrett Reid possessed Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate. Since these medicines were found at Garrett Reid’s dormitory room, some suspicions arose. It was noticed that the coach’s son probably provided these prohibited drugs to members of the Philadelphia Eagles. Thus, the death of Garrett Reid turned out to be a trouble for the whole sport organization.
Some of steroids found at Garrett Reid’ room are fast-acting. These products are usually liked by sportspersons that submit to drug testing. Since they are excreted from the body in short period of time after administration, it is more difficult to catch those that have applied these medications. Thus, it is suspected that such products must have been used by players of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Despites suspicions, nothing was proved. It was not revealed yet whether anabolic steroids were found in the body of Garrett Reid.
The NFL spokesman claimed that he would report when it will be clear whether steroids found in Garrett Reid’s room were connected with Philadelphia Eagles.

Do college athletes increase body weight without steroids?

A few college sportspersons are caught administering forbidden products. Does it mean that they don’t take performance-enhancing drugs? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping rules. They have tested positive for steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Such situation must assure anti-doping agencies that they win in the war on doping. But several suspicions arise. It is believed that numerous college football players apply steroids and/or other related products but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions appear? Changes in physique of college football players cause controversial statements. So, changes in body mass of more than 61,000 college football players were recently analyzed by the Associated Press. Results displayed that numerous college football players enhanced their body weight in short period of time significantly. More than 20 pounds were gained by over 4,500 college football players during a year. Furthermore, circa 100 persons enhanced the body weight by more than 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were obvious.
Some experts affirm that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officials. They notice that anti-doping officers shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests just because they have increased body mass evidentially.
But other specialists have another opinion. However they agree that it is impossible to be sure that several football players have administered steroids and/or other related medicines, basing just upon changes in body mass, they note that the changes may be a factor which causes suspicions linked with administration of steroids. Thus, such individuals that have enhanced body weight in short period of time should be subjected to drug testing.
Some college athletes that increased body weight significantly in short period of time were asked about their changes. The athletes affirmed that they had never used any banned drugs. They claimed that they reached such dramatic changes naturally. The college athletes noted that they had consumed much food for this purpose. So, they claimed that such obvious results were achieved by them because of proper diets. According to them, it was not difficult to get many pounds in short period of time.

Remedies which are useful for prevention of hair loss

Anabolic steroids are widely applied in medicine and in bodybuilding and sports. Many individuals use these products in order to improve their health. These products are indicated for treatment of several diseases. Moreover, many athletes and bodybuilders apply anabolic steroids in order to enhance muscle mass, get strength, restore exercise-damaged muscle tissues, etc. But some persons are not ready to assume certain risks linked with these preparations. It is known that anabolic steroids may lead to several negative effects. One of negative reactions of these drugs is hair loss. So, certain individuals try to avoid intake of steroids because they don’t want to suffer from this unwanted reaction. Moreover, some persons have genetic predisposition to this problem. If they administer some steroids, they may face baldness.
Luckily, some negative consequences of anabolic steroids may be prevented or at least reduced and cured. When it comes to hair loss, there are several drugs which can help to prevent this problem. There are also such medicines which are capable to promote re-growth of hair. Those that have to administer anabolic steroids may apply some remedies to prevent hair loss or cause re-growth of hair. Which products are useful for this need?
Since hair loss occurs because of increased levels of dihydrotestosterone, several persons administer Propecia that blocks dihydrotestosterone and prevents hair loss. But this is not the best preparation for prevention of hair loss while administering anabolic steroids. Blocking of dihydrotestosterone by Propecia may lead to sexual dysfunctions.
Rogaine, Retin-A and Lattisse may be useful. Rogaine has got FDA’s approval for treatment of hair loss. Rogaine may be combined with Retin-A or Latisse. Rogaine and Latisse have capacity to prevent hair loss that may occur because of anabolic steroids. As for Latisse, it is approved by the FDA for eyelash growth. But it is not approved by the FDA to be applied in case of hair loss. Nevertheless, it is stated by some experts that this medication may be applied for re-growth of hair successfully.

Steroids must be used correctly

Anabolic steroids are often demonized for different illnesses of users. Of course, these products may lead to several negative consequences. Nevertheless, steroids are often blamed without any reason. It is affirmed frequently by the media that these products cause various health problems, crimes, deaths. But it is important to understand nature of these products to see when these medications should not be blamed.
Let analyze two situations. One of the cases is linked with the former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler. Another case is about another former bodybuilder Luke Wood.
The former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler suffered from kidney disorders. He submitted to a kidney transplant. Since he administered anabolic steroids, the media chose to blame these drugs for kidney failure of Flex Wheeler. Actually, Flex Wheeler had a hereditary kidney disease. Of course, intake of anabolic steroids contributed to the complications. But did Flex Wheeler administer steroids properly? Did he follow reasonable recommendations connected with doses and duration of usage? No, he didn’t. Flex Wheeler applied very high measures of steroids. Moreover, he took these preparations long period of time. In addition to these factors, the former American bodybuilder used also other medicines that had negative influence on his kidneys. Thus, steroids should not be demonized for Flex Wheeler’s disease.
As it has been already noted, another case is linked with the former bodybuilder Luke Wood. His death followed after a kidney transplant, being a young person. The media also chose to demonize steroids in this situation. It was stated that steroids caused kidney dysfunctions in Luke Wood. But you should be informed that Luke Wood took not only steroids. He used also insulin, pain drugs, DNP and other medicines that influenced on the kidneys negatively. So, it is impossible to assure that steroids were responsible for his kidney failure and death.
According to many experts, if anabolic steroids are taken correctly, serious kidney disorders don’t occur.

Nobody was surprised, when Mark McGwire admitted to using steroids

Mark McGwire, an American baseball player and coach acknowledged that he had used steroids and HGH.
There are many points of view which are related to the baseball player’s admission. According to numerous individuals, Mark McGwire admitted to administering forbidden products because he desired to come back to professional baseball.
Being interviewed, the American baseball player and coach reported recently that it was a mistake to apply steroids. But Mark McGwire pointed out that he had applied steroids not for performance-enhancing effects. The American professional baseball player and coach reported that he had administered steroids and HGH only for clinical purposes.
It is interesting to note that when Mark McGwire admitted to using banned drugs, his fans and other persons were not surprised at all. Why were not they surprised? They knew about it. Certain individuals claimed that Mark McGwire used steroids before he made the admission. A FBI informant said that the American baseball player had obtained Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Enanthate, Equipose and Winstrol from the steroid dealer Curtis Wenzlaff and taken these products.
Another person that reported about administration of steroids by Mark McGwire was the “godfather of steroids” Jose Canseco. He claimed that he injected Mark McGwire with anabolic steroids. But Jose Canseco was not the first person that helped Mark McGwire to use anabolic steroids. Jay, Mark’s brother, was the first person that injected the baseball player with steroids.
Although Mark McGwire acknowledged that he had used steroids, he said nothing about affirmations pronounced by his brother, Jose Canseco and the FBI informant. He didn’t report whether these affirmations were true or not.
Mark McGwire affirms that he knows that he will never enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. Moreover, the admitted steroid user claims that he will never fight to be elected for the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire has respect to all rules linked with baseball. He understands that those that have ever used prohibited remedies must not enter the Hall of Fame.

Contamination with fungal meningitis

Over 500 individuals were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had used Methylprednisolone injections produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). More than 30 individuals died from this illness. No one must have doubted that the contamination turned out to be a great tragedy for several individuals and their families. Nevertheless, anti-doping organizations put efforts to benefit from the situation. What did they do? They began to demonize anabolic steroids. It was noticed by the media that anabolic steroids could lead to the fatal disease fungal meningitis.
Recently the Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation linked with illegal manufacture of anabolic steroids. It saw that anabolic steroids were manufactured by an underground lab in unsterile conditions. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office claimed that they conducted the investigation for prevention of contamination with fungal meningitis in future. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, if one administers anabolic steroids produced in unsterile conditions, he/she has a risk to get fungal meningitis.
In fact, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office demonstrated own ignorance linked with anabolic steroids and risks related to contamination with fungal meningitis. One may get fungal meningitis, if he/she uses drugs which are injected directly into the central nervous system. Methylprednisolone Acetate injections are administered into the central nervous system. That’s why these contaminated corticosteroids caused the fungal meningitis outbreak. As for anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are chiefly injected into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to be contaminated with fungal meningitis while injecting anabolic steroids. If you administer anabolic steroids that are manufactured in unsterile conditions, you may experience certain side effects. But you will never get fungal meningitis while administering anabolic steroids for therapeutic or even for athletic purposes.  
So, the fungal meningitis outbreak resulted from intake of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be just a condition to demonize anabolic steroids.  Notice, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It is a corticosteroid.

Admitted steroid user helps other persons to maintain health

Tammy Thomas, a former American cyclist, used the designer steroid THG. As a result, she was sentenced to lifetime suspension.
Tammy Thomas wanted to participate in the 2004 Olympics. Thus, the cyclist decided to use steroids in order to promote her performance and make her dreams linked with the Olympic Games real. But since she was caught administering banned preparations, she was not permitted to take part in the Olympic Games.
Tammy Thomas was charged with lying to the Grand Jury. She turned out to be targeted during the BALCO investigation. It was determined that Tammy Thomas didn’t say truth about application of steroids and purchase of THG. While she was accused of lying to the Grand Jury, she presented certain arguments in order to defend herself against the accusations.
The cyclist claimed that she hadn’t taken any banned substance. Actually, she was right. At that time THG was not enumerated on the list of forbidden products. It was considered to be just an unapproved new preparation. THG was developed by the chemist Patrick Arnold.
While the BALCO foundation sold THG to many sportspersons, it was stated that Tammy Thomas obtained this medication from Patrick Arnold. But the female cyclist denied this affirmation. Finally, she said that Patrick Arnold’s former girlfriend supplied her with THG.
All arguments of Tammy Thomas were not accepted. She was sentenced to a home detection of 6 months and probation of five years.
Tammy Thomas repented wholly. She acknowledged that she acted wrongly. So, she decided to alter her life. Being a religious woman, Tammy Thomas believes that God has certain plan related to her life. She noted that she would do anything in order to live so, as God whishes. She founded a fitness center and decided to help others to maintain their health.

Mariusz Wach was caught taking steroids

It was declared by the German newspaper Bild that the polish boxer Mariusz Wach violated anti-doping laws. This sportsman tested positive for steroids. The drug testing was conducted before the fight between this athlete and Vladimir Klichko, an Ukrainian boxer and a world champion.
According to A-sample of Mariusz Wach, he used steroids. Results of his B-sample are not known yet.
It is necessary to mention that the German newspaper Bild reported about the steroid positive of the polish boxer before it was done by the German Boxing Federation. According to Mariusz Kolodziej, the promoter of the boxer Wach it displays that the German Boxing Federation doesn’t do its job properly. It lacks professionalism entirely.
What did Mariusz Wach claim in order to defend himself? Actually, Mariusz Wach didn’t try to defend himself. He only stated that he had never used any anabolic steroids or other forbidden products knowingly. The boxer even said that he didn’t know what he really applied. He cared only about workouts and suitable diets. When it comes to supplements, they were chosen and provided by his trainers. The polish athlete trusted his trainers entirely. Mariusz Wach didn’t even ask which dietary supplements were applied by him. Mariusz Wach decided to put the total responsibility connected with supplements on his trainers and he was not interested in the essence of products that were given by his trainers.
Mariusz Wach didn’t try to accuse his trainers of his steroid positive. He just revealed the reality.
So, it is possible to suggest that Mariusz Wach has administered a contaminated supplement. As you probably know, it happens often that athletes administer nutrition supplements that turn out to contain steroidal compounds. Thus, problems start.
If Mariusz Wach’s B-sample indicates that the boxer has administered banned medications, he will be probably suspended for one year. He will also have to pay a fine.

Are steroids dangerous for boys of 18?

You may come across many articles about dangers related to application of steroids by 18-year old boys. It is frequently claimed that those that are under 21 years old must not take anabolic steroids for athletic goals. Application of steroids by 18-year old boys is considered to be very dangerous for their health. But you should know that there are also opposite conceptions. Some experts note that 18-year old guys may administer anabolic steroids without any fear to get serious undesirable consequences. Teenagers are encouraged by such statements. They suggest that if they use anabolic steroids since the age of 18, they are likely to reach great results in professional sports. Is it true? Although it is allowed for boys since the age of 18 years old to apply steroids, it is better for them to avoid applying these medications. Why? There are several reasons which are written below:

1. Adolescents don’t become professional sportspersons with the help of steroids.
Adolescents know that a lot of professional sportspeople administer steroids. Teenagers see that these persons are successful. Thus, they suggest that sportspersons become successful with the help of steroid use. But this is a wrong point of view. Steroids are not mysterious medications which can make any individual a professional athlete.

2. Teenagers don’t possess sufficient knowledge about steroids.
Since adolescents don’t have knowledge about steroids, they take these products wrongly. As a result, they don’t obtain needed effects; on the contrary, they may face grave negative results.

3. Teenagers don’t accompany usage of anabolic steroids by proper workouts and diets.
Teenagers neglect to have proper trainings and nutrition during usage of steroids. They should know that it is very important to have proper workouts and diets that are needed for their athletic goals.

USADA plans to continue conducting investigations in cycling

The USADA desires to learn whether you have ever administered anabolic steroids, EPO, HGH and/or other banned products. This fact may surprise you but the anti-doping organization doesn’t intend yet to stop the investigation related to Lance Armstrong’s doping case. Thus, the investigation has not been ended. The USADA wants to investigate every cyclist. Especially suspected steroid users will be investigated.
The USADA desires to utilize the best ways in order to catch those that have ever administered forbidden substances. What is the best way to clean cycling of doping? The USADA puts efforts in order to determine and apply the best methods. This anti-doping organization is even ready to compare elimination of doping in cycling with that in South Africa.
The USADA affirms that those who apply steroids and other related substances should be punished. Consumers of anabolic steroids and/or other doping products are demonized as if they were criminals. They are often compared with those who commit violence and other serious crimes. Anabolic steroids are harshly demonized in the society. Thus, the USADA suggests that if steroids and steroid users are demonized, it will be easier to elude doping.
In fact, the USADA asks the International Cycling Association to set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will investigate various cases linked with doping. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will try to determine why certain cyclists have used steroids and/or other doping products but remained undetectable.
Furthermore, the USADA promises that “amnesty” will be provided to those that admit to using anabolic steroids and/or other forbidden drugs, ask for forgiveness, repent and tell everything connected with doping to the anti-doping agency, team physicians, teammates, friends, etc. If a former steroid user says just truth, he will get the full amnesty. Thus, the USADA hopes to clean the sport of cycling completely.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the USADA, says that there are some cyclists linked to Lance Armstrong that have avoided detection. They should be identified by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Adderall is less blamed in society than steroids

The National Football League is not allowed to reveal details, when players violate anti-doping rules. It is only claimed that certain individuals have failed drug tests. But the League must not reveal which substances have been used by these sportspersons. Thus, several football players cheat about medications that have resulted in positives.
Why do several football players choose to cheat about products that have been applied by them? Let explain.
Many football players who fail drug tests say that they have used Adderall. Actually, they have administered steroids. Why do they affirm that they have tested positive for Adderall? What is Adderall? This is a medicine that is prescribed to treat attention-deficit disorder. But this medicine is applied not only for this therapeutic need. Athletes and bodybuilders apply this medicine for athletic goals.
As for anabolic steroids, they are harshly blamed. Many journalists, specialists, anti-doping officers and ordinary individuals affirm that these products are too dangerous. They may cause different serious side consequences. Anabolic steroids are blamed even for several crimes. But as for Adderall, this preparation is not blamed in the society. Thus, a lot of football players try to avoid criticism. They don’t want to be blamed for administration of such forbidden medicines, as anabolic steroids. Since consumers of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players affirm that they have failed drug tests because they have used Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those that are busted with cocaine tell others that they have applied marijuana because cocaine is more harshly demonized than the last one.
You should not think that every football player that says that he has tested positive for Adderall has actually used anabolic steroids. But it is possible to affirm that those that use Adderall are less demonized than those that administer steroids.

What is it necessary to do to eradicate doping from boxing?

Freddie Roach is a well-known American trainer in boxing. He coaches the prominent boxer Manny Pacquiao. The trainer claims that he knows the best method to eradicate the problem of doping in boxing. According to this coach, strength and conditioning coaches should be blamed for application of anabolic steroids and other related medications in this sport. He notes that they teach boxers to use doping products. Thus, the trainer Freddie Roach thinks that it is necessary to get rid of every strength and conditioning coach. It will lead to eliminating of steroid use from boxing.
What does the trainer Freddie Roach believe about dramatic changes that have occurred in physique and performance of the boxer Juan Manuel Marquez. In fact, there are different points of view about this athlete and substantial changes in him. Many individuals believe that he has used steroids that have caused these changes in him. When it comes to Freddie Roach, he thinks that Angel Guillermo Memo Heredia has supplied Juan Manuel Marquez with anabolic steroids.
Memo Heredia is an admitted distributor of steroids. He acknowledged that he had supplied many top athletes with anabolic steroids. Since he collaborated with prosecutors and revealed names of several sportspersons who used steroids, he was not accused of any crimes related to distribution of anabolic steroids.
Thus, Freddie Roach claims that strength and conditioning coaches like Memo Heredia should be pushed from boxing. It is the best method to eradicate administration of steroids and other related products from boxing.
It is interesting to notice that Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach’s client, has a strength coach too. Does it mean that this famous boxer administers steroids and/or other related medications? The trainer Freddie Roach claims that the strength coach Alex Arizo doesn’t supply Manny Pacquiao with steroids.
Alex Arizo and Memo Heredia are friends. Thus, Alex Arizo puts efforts to defend his friend, claiming that Freddie Roach’s accusations are not true. In fact, Freddie Roach says that he doesn’t like to pronounce any accusations connected with administration of anabolic steroids and other related remedies. But he has to do it because this is the nature of boxing.
While Alex Arizo affirms that Memo Heredia doesn’t provide steroids to Marquez, Freddie Roach has own point of view. He continues to believe that Marquez is tainted. According to Freddie Roach, dramatic physical transformations of this athlete display that he administers steroids and/or other doping products.

Moustafa Ismail is recorded in Guinness book

The Egyptian bodybuilder Moustafa Ismail has the largest biceps in the world. He was recorded in the Guinness book of the world records. This guy affirms that his large arms are natural. Moustafa Ismail claims that he has the largest arms in the world because he has too strict nutrition and workouts. The Egyptian bodybuilder eats chickens, almonds and fish each day. The bodybuilder also consumes much water and protein shakes.
Although it is obvious that diets and trainings play significant role, numerous persons doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is difficult to believe that appropriate workouts and diets can lead to such enhancement in arms. Which factors are responsible for the large arms of the bodybuilder?
When it was reported that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations connected with application of steroids appeared immediately. Some persons believe that anabolic steroids are responsible for the large arms of this guy. What did Moustafa Ismail say about usage of steroids? He said that he had administered anabolic steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and application of these medicines are legal under laws of this country. These preparations are available at any drug store in Egypt. Furthermore, anabolic steroids are cheap there. But Moustafa Ismail affirmed that he had to discontinue taking these products, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and intake of these medicines without a prescription are considered to be illegal under laws of the US. These medications are purchased on the black market by those that administer them in the US illegally. So, Moustafa Ismail stopped taking these products after he moved to the USA.
But if even Moustafa Ismail takes anabolic steroids, it doesn’t matter because these products don’t increase arms. They are not responsible for the bodybuilder’s massive arms.
There are other remedies which can increase arms. They are called “site enhancement oils” (SEO). Synthol is one of the most often applied SEO. This product is taken by bodybuilders. It is applied in order to increase muscles in circumference. Thus, it is supposed that Moustafa Ismail administers Synthol. However, the Egyptian bodybuilder claims that he doesn’t use this product.
Moustafa Ismail says that he is hurt by accusations connected with anabolic steroids and Synthol. He has submitted to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t seen any abnormality in the arms of this person. Thus, it is unclear whether the bodybuilder’s arms are natural or not.

Who is responsible for doping in cycling: Pedro Celaya or Lance Armstrong?

However you probably don’t know anything about Scott Mercier, his statements linked with usage of steroids and other related drugs in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This man belonged to the US Postal Cycling team before Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Several affirmations of Scott Mercier revealed the truth that was hidden in cycling.
In fact, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made wrong conclusions related to role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The legendary cyclist was accused and found guilty of administration of forbidden products throughout his athletic career. While it may be true, the USADA affirmed that Lance Armstrong induced doping in professional cycling. But these affirmations turned out to be false. Why? Which words were said by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier affirmed that their team doctor Pedro Celaya offered a special program for the US Postal Cycling team. The doctor discussed about the program with every cyclist. Pedro Celaya claimed that they had to ride 200-250 km per day. Furthermore, Pedro Celaya organized doping program which had to accompany trainings. So, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s athletes with steroids, EPO and certain other medications.
These recommendations were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong was not involved in professional cycling. This sportsman experienced testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that this person would not be capable to ride professionally. His cancer spread throughout his body, including brain. After this man experienced chemotherapy he tried to get recovery. Thus, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any relation to the team. He didn’t promote taking doping products in professional cycling. It became evident that doping was organized by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional cyclists applied Andriol. Then they applied testosterone patches. Under guidelines of Pedro Celaya riders utilized the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping agencies.

Melky Cabrera’s steroid past and baseball career

Intake of anabolic steroids and some other medications is banned in many sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Athletes that are caught administering prohibited drugs are sentenced to bans, fines, etc. Although athletes know about these aspects, many of them continue administering anabolic steroids and/or other prohibited preparations. As a result, several sportspersons spoil their athletic reputation totally. Nonetheless, certain sportspeople succeed, if even they violate anti-doping rules.
Let take the Dominican baseball player Melky Cabrera as an example. This athlete played baseball for San Francisco Giants. Melky Cabrera was claimed to be one of the best baseball players. It was believed that he induced winning evidentially. But after he tested positive for a steroid, he was sentenced to a 50-game suspension.
Melky Cabrera put efforts to modify the decision and appealed it. He affirmed that a dietary supplement caused his positive. Certain persons desired to help him in that case. So, a fake site was formed. An advertisement for a tainted supplement was posted. But the trick was unmasked. Melky Cabrera had to serve the suspension.
While he was suspended, the San Francisco Giants understood that they could win without him.
Recently the Dominican baseball player obtained a $16 million contract. Melky Cabrera will play for the Toronto Blue Jays.
 As you see, usage of steroids couldn’t destroy the athletic career of the Dominican baseball player. He continues to play baseball professionally and earn great sums of money.
This is just an example which displays that intake of forbidden products doesn’t destruct athletic careers in certain situations.

No one of Myogenix was sentenced to prison

Dietary supplements companies often label anabolic steroids as dietary supplements. So, they sell these illicit products. They bamboozle the Drug Enforcement Administration and clients that acquire such remedies. As a result, some sportspersons test positive for forbidden substances while they are sure that they have never applied any steroid or another prohibited medicine. Dietary supplements companies must be punished for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company that is located in California. This company admitted that they sold a synthetic steroid which was marketed as a nutrition supplement. It was called Spawn. Its ingredient were following: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. So, the supplement Spawn consisted of 2 steroids but it was marketed as a dietary supplement.
Myogenix admitted that they had sold Spawn since 2007 till 2009. The company was enforced to pay a $500.000 fine. Moreover, Myogenix forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, preparations manufactured and sold by this company will be tested for five years by an independent organization. All new nutrition supplements should be checked carefully and approved by the FDA before Myogenix may sell them.
Actually, Myogenix should thank the defense attorney Rick Collins that has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficaciously. Nobody went to prison. This defense attorney was hired to defend also other companies that were related to the site Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced only to fines and money seizures.
